Catching Up

With Outdoor Retailer in town I didn't get a chance to post a congratulations to all the Tomac/Kenda racers. The team had a great weekend and it was topped off by Colin Cares winning the U23 race. The other big news was that Heather Holmes was selected to the U.S. National Marathon Team at the UCI Marathon World Championships next month in Stattegg, Austria. Make sure to check out the Tomac Fan Blog for all the team updates and pictures of the 29r prototype.

Outdoor Retailer is a bit of a warm up for InterBike for me since 5.10 is the only company that I represent that attends. The rumors about a SPD compatible shoe are true but it still is going to be a while before it is ready. Meanwhile they did release the new Zebra Blue version of the Freerider which for those of you skated in the eighties it's reminiscent of the Christian Hosoi skateboards.


Last but not least is that the long awaited Troy Lee Designs D3 made it's first public appearance this past weekend at the Mount Saint Anne World Cup. Of course it's a great intro to take 1st and 2nd in the men's field on the heads of Sam Hill and Steve Peat.
